That means “cheap money” is borrowed, converted and lent out at a higher rate of return. Euro carry trade explained. Let us assume that interest rates in Europe are 0%, but the US increases interest rates to 4%. Then if you borrow £10,000 at 0% in Europe, you can invest this £10,000 at 4% in the US. This will give you a profit of £400. Changes in supply and demand for currencies prompted by the opportunity to exploit interest rate differentials can, therefore, result in sizeable and persistent exchange rate movements. Specifically, carry trades based on interest rate differentials and forward premiums affect the balance of supply and demand for funding and target currencies
